Secondly, I'd like to encourage aspiring producers to avoid using pre-made loops. Instead, try to watch tutorials on how to craft your sound. You'll end up composing your own loops, and being original.

Youtube is a rich source of tutorials on beatmaking, or beatmaking videos. Use it in your favour, and remember nothing worth comes easy. Building up some skills requires time and practice, downloading other producer's job in order to mix-and-match them might be good to get a grasp of the basics, but the real challenge comes afterwards.
